189: Chapter 189 The Thunder Dragon Wolf That Was Countered

Watching the earthy-yellow ray of light shot out by Wei Long, a flash of surprise crossed Li Yu's eyes.

He Long's beast was a Vajra Vulture, a metal-element bird of prey; whether in terms of species or element, it had nothing to do with the earth element, and was even vastly different.

Who did this guy find to breed it?

The attribute has been changed.

Not only was Li Yu curious, but Wei Long, Feng Hou, and others who had seen He Long's beast all showed surprised expressions.

Conversely, the other elites, including He Long, also looked confusedly at the light Wei Long shot.

Wasn't it wind-element?

It should be a green light, right? What on earth is this golden, crackling thing?

The earthy-yellow light landed first, forming a complex Formation. A sound like Sanskrit chanting rang out, and a strange beast slowly rose from the Formation.

It had the head of a vulture and the body of a human, with wings on its back and feathers covering its body. It sat cross-legged with a pale yellow Demon-Subduing Pestle across its knees; the nine rings on the pestle rattled, making a crisp clinking sound.

A chorus of gasps erupted from the surroundings.

Some Beast Tamers were so shocked they stood up; the appearance was simply too mind-blowing.

It was like... a giant bird had become a spirit and even put on a Monastic Robe.

Has it become a monk?

"What the hell?"

Feng Hou and Chu Xiaolian exclaimed in surprise.

It was just a beast this morning; how did it become a 'beast in human clothing' by the afternoon?

"An interesting evolution," a smile appeared on Li Yu's face. "The evolutionary logic is quite bold, but the craftsmanship is a bit lacking."

[Yao Beast Name]: Earth Vulture Luó

[Yao Beast Quality]: Lord (B)

[Yao Beast Rank]: Silver Rank 9

[Yao Beast Attribute]: Earth

[Yao Beast Talent]: Demon-Subduing Pestle, Earth Luo Seat, Earth Vein, Earth Seal

[Yao Beast Description]: Evolved from a Vajra Vulture that attained Buddha-light; it has washed away past sins and sat down to transform into a Buddha.

Evolving from a bird of prey into a humanoid form, abandoning its original attribute, forgetting all its talents, and completely transforming into a new state.

Li Yu could see that this Earth Vulture Luó still had significant room for optimization; if bred well, its quality could reach A-Rank.

Unfortunately, the craftsmanship was slightly inferior, so it was only B-Rank.

At this time, Wei Long's summoning also concluded. The three-meter-long Thunder Dragon Wolf leaped out from the Formation; its massive size and handsome appearance should have caused a stir.

However, with the visual impact of the Earth Vulture Luó coming first, the surrounding Breeders only felt it was 'decent,' not quite reaching the level of being stunning.

The crowd's reaction invisibly put pressure on Wei Long and greatly boosted He Long's confidence.

"I didn't expect you to change attributes as well. The lightning element is quite good, but unfortunately, it's not very effective against my beast. Li Yu's breeding is just so-so," He Long said.

Wei Long said expressionlessly, "It's not certain yet who will win or lose."

"Then stop the nonsense."

"Agreed!"

As soon as they finished speaking, their thoughts were transmitted, and the two beasts moved instantly.

The Earth Vulture Luó spread its wings, and in the next second, its figure streaked through space, appearing right beside the Thunder Dragon Wolf.

The iron rings of the Demon-Subduing Pestle vibrated, making a noise as the pestle smashed down hard toward the Thunder Dragon Wolf. A hint of brutality appeared on that calm vulture face.

"So fast!"

"Space-type?!"

Feng Hou and Chu Xiaolian were shocked, unable to understand how the scene before them was possible—it was almost like teleportation.

Li Yu had seen the Earth Vulture Luó's attributes and knew it was the effect of its talent, 'Earth Vein'; as long as its feet touched the ground, it could achieve the ability to shift positions.

"It seems this 'Buddha' isn't that pure after all."

Li Yu thought to himself.

Under his perception, the Earth Vulture Luó had clearly been building up momentum since the moment it was summoned, rather than it being a sudden attack.

But that didn't matter; for a battle, as long as one could win, it was enough.

The Earth Vulture Luó was fast, and the Thunder Dragon Wolf wasn't slow either. It couldn't see its opponent's movements clearly, but sensing a sharp attack coming, it immediately activated Lightning Dash.

Bang!

The Demon-Subduing Pestle landed where the Thunder Dragon Wolf had originally stood, smashing out a crater over a meter deep. The Thunder Dragon Wolf appeared not far away, baring its teeth and glaring at the Earth Vulture Luó.

Missing its strike, the Earth Vulture Luó slowly retracted its Demon-Subduing Pestle and gave a slight bow toward the Thunder Dragon Wolf, causing the wolf, which was about to attack, to pause.

How polite, but could you stop building up momentum?

Li Yu complained silently.

After finishing its bow, the Earth Vulture Luó used Earth Vein again, appearing beside the Thunder Dragon Wolf. This time, the Demon-Subduing Pestle smashed toward the wolf's waist and abdomen.

Canines were traditionally said to have 'copper heads, iron brains, and tofu waists.' No matter how hard the Thunder Dragon Wolf's bones were, if its waist was hit, it would collapse on the spot.

"Dodge," Wei Long ordered.

Bang!

Lightning flashed explosively on the Thunder Dragon Wolf's body as it avoided the attack once more. It glared at the Earth Vulture Luó, cursing it up and down in its heart.

You vulture with no martial ethics!

Taking advantage of my large size to launch a sneak attack, trying to trick and hit a big guy like me.

In that case, I won't be polite either!

The Thunder Dragon Wolf let out a roar, lightning surging wildly from its mouth, surrounded by silver-white and golden bolts of electricity.

Talent: Thunder Dragon Shockwave!

A stream of interlaced gold and silver lightning shot out, transforming into a ferocious Thunder Dragon. Ignoring the Earth Vulture Luó's feigned bow, it streaked straight toward it.

Boom—!

The Thunder Dragon Shockwave hit the Earth Vulture Luó, and the violent lightning instantly swallowed it. With a series of thunderous booms, the entire battlefield was filled with lightning snakes and pythons darting in all directions.

Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the field.

But soon, people's expressions turned to shock as they looked at the battle stage in disbelief.

"You've got to be kidding me!"

"How is this possible!"

Feng Hou and Chu Xiaolian looked at the battlefield with solemn expressions.

Amidst the stray electricity, the Earth Vulture Luó stood there unscathed. Looking closely, one would see that the lightning touching it was being channeled into the ground through its pair of eagle talons.

"How the hell are we supposed to fight this!" Feng Hou's face darkened.

Chu Xiaolian looked at Li Yu. "What should we do? The Thunder Dragon Wolf seems like it's going to lose."

"Not necessarily, it's just a minor elemental counter," Li Yu smiled. "If it can't even handle this, we really will have to have an extra meal tonight."

Li Yu's words left Chu Xiaolian looking puzzled.

Feng Hou, on the other hand, looked at the battle stage thoughtfully.

On the field.

He Long had initially thought the Earth Vulture Luó wouldn't be able to withstand the Thunder Dragon Wolf's grand display, but seeing the scene before him, he immediately felt relieved.

The elemental suppression made him feel increasingly smug.

"Just surrender, so you don't look too pathetic when you lose later," He Long said.

With a determined face and a serious expression, Wei Long said, "It's impossible for me to surrender. On the contrary, I advise you to surrender. I'm giving those same words back to you: don't lose too pathetically."

He Long was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"With just you?"

"It's not me, it's Li Yu," Wei Long said seriously. "Elemental counters do have a big impact, but if it loses simply because of an elemental counter, it would be a disgrace to his breeding."

As Wei Long finished speaking.

The Thunder Dragon Wolf's fur moved without wind, and its breathing became long and heavy, clearly audible even from the spectator stands.

With its breathing, the stray lightning snakes and electric pythons on the battle stage that were about to vanish began to swell.

"Crackle, crackle..."

In the blink of an eye, the entire battle stage was covered in lightning.

Listening to their dialogue and watching the Thunder Dragon Wolf's actions, the audience all showed puzzled expressions.

No matter how much lightning there was, if it was nullified by the earth element, what was the point?
